Not OP but this is actually a good question, I know atoms are about 99% empty space but have they always been that way? What about right after the big bang? The second after the big bang was there 0% empty space between atoms? I was watching my friend play No Man's Sky, and it seems like all of the planets and solar systems are extremely close with smaller planets, how likely would that to be the case in a young universe? Is it possible that as the universe expands all mass and the distance between mass expands?

See Weyl symmetry.

That would explain why the Higgs mass is a metastable region of the parameter space and not in stable region as was expected

Space is expanding, increasing the distance between everything in the universe. Right now, and for a very long time after today, the four fundamental forces keep your component atoms and their subatomic particles together despite the expansion. However, the rate of expansion is accelerating. Eventually, it will overcome the various forces, and all matter and energy in the universe will be ripped apart. Existence as we know it will dissipate and the universe will basically fade away to nothing.

Can we stop it?

You can't stop it on a Universal scale, but you could resist it on a local scale. By gaining mass locally, you can offset the expansion of space. Eat a lot of chocolate and peanut butter. I'm doing my part!
